Gulf Countries Redraw Logistics Strategies Amid Strait of Hormuz Closure
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has prompted Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries to reassess and adapt their logistics strategies. The disruption has accelerated structural shifts in regional logistics, emphasizing resilience over efficiency. Countries with alternative access routes, such as ports on the Arabian Sea or the Red Sea, are adjusting their logistics flows to mitigate the impact. The UAE is evolving from a port-centric model to a network-based logistics system, while Saudi Arabia is leveraging its Red Sea access to develop integrated sea-land corridors. Oman is positioning itself as a stable gateway outside Hormuz, enhancing its multi-port system.
